Document Summary
Sustaining indigeneity within the context of pervasive globalisation: mcneish, andrew (2013): extraction, protest and indigeneity in bolivia: the tipnis effect. American and caribbean ethnic studies, 8(2): 221-242: bourgois, philippe (1988): conjugated oppression: class and ethnicity among guaymi and kuna banana workers . For, mcneish notions of indigeneity drawn from historical sectoral dynamics, organization and assimilation into capitalist developmentalism, reflects the mobilization of differing cultural and political interests, within a contested sphere of ethnicity. The conjugation of class drawn occupational hierarchies is situated within stereotypes of proletarian skill, adaptation and institutional organisation in the historical formation of ethnic groups and class consciousnesses. Mobilization of ethnicity as an ideology is thus situated within class influencing experiences of oppression. Wolf culture: the world of humankind is to be understood as a totality of converging, interconnected processes and not as bounded systems. Treats ethnicity as reductive: but is the outcome of a series of processes.
